Who Eventually Stays in a Smart City?——A Case Study on Smart Cities in U.s.a.

对于智慧城市的解析,往往都是从信息化的角度出发,这不免让人把智慧城市与智能,数字城市的概念相互混淆粘连。回归智慧一词的本源,智慧城市应该是人的智慧。本文以美国为例,通过分析其主要智慧城市发展与移民之间的关系,验证出智慧城市的发展主要是由外来求学的大学生所组成的移民群体所推动的。为其提供良好的学习,就业和生活环境是维持智慧城市的良好发展内在保证。

Therefore, the supply of good education, working conditions and livable environment becomes the guarantee of smart city growth.
